Unitarian & Free Christian Bible Discussion

This discussion will be led by Peter Godfrey on the theme of forgiveness. He writes: Forgiveness is central to the teaching of Jesus. Why was this so? How does his teaching link with the teaching in the Hebrew Bible? Does Jesus add anything or have a different emphasis? How does Jesus’s teaching on forgiveness make a difference to our lives? Is it possible for us to forgive several times? What has it meant in our life experiences to have forgiven and to have been forgiven? There will be two readings and that we have two group sessions The readings Peter suggests are: Matthew 6: 7-13 and Matthew 18: 21-35  Time: Mar 1, 2021 06:30 PM London Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/92379446988?pwd=aFBGU3JnUWZ4cUZ5cTEreUY2WTVKQT09 Meeting ID: 923 7944 6988 Passcode: 910713

Vanessa writes: Hi friends. We’ll be looking at Psalm 51 this evening - one of the ‘penitential’ psalms that is often used in Lent liturgies. I’ve clung to this psalm over the last few years. I absolutely love it..and need it. I wonder what it might speak to us at this particular point in time. In Lent. In Lockdown. In longing for freedom as connection. 6.30-7.30pm. We’ll open the space 5 mins before. Here’s the link again: https://zoom.us/j/97076772285... Meeting ID: 970 7677 2285 Passcode: 018594

Hi everyone. Just letting you know that we’ll have a bible study as normal on Monday, 6.30pm. Here’s the link: https://zoom.us/j/97076772285... Meeting ID: 970 7677 2285 Passcode: 018594 I’ll ponder over the weekend which text to look at, and will confirm details on Monday. In the meantime here’s my painting of a jar of clay in lovely almost spring sunlight (sadly not painted by me). Hope you have a good weekend.

Our Bible discussion on Monday evening centres around John 20, verses, 24-29, the story of doubting Thomas. There are many questions around faith and doubt, faith and certainty and why does this story only make it into the gospel of John? Given the rise of churches that seem to offer certainty what place for churches like ours that don't? The Zoom link is below and I will have the link open from 6.20PM with a 6.30 start. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82011592187... Meeting ID 820 1159 Password 48875
